C inception sales of Windows Vista, as well as on the new version of office suite, it took about half a year. Some are already actively using Office 2007, but most only prismatrivaetsya to it, trying to understand whether justified upgrade to a new version. Advertised new interface raises more concern than the desire to abandon the usual menu items and buttons on the toolbars. Other innovations do not seem so important, that is for them to drop their familiar program.

In this review we pay attention to the most interesting and popular novelty Word and try to 2007, it became easier to work, and whether there is any sense to send a previous version of the text editor to retirement.

We begin, of course, with the interface. In Word 2007 window there are two entirely new interface element - Office menus and tape.

Menu Office
Menu Office - is all that is left of the main menu. Some teams moved here from the File menu, familiar to users of previous versions of Word 2003, some were completely new.

Teams for setting different parameters work with the program, most of which previously could be found at Tools> Options, then shifted to the window parameters Word caused by clicking on the same team.

The truth, to find the appropriate setting, may need some time - the organization of this window is difficult to identify logical. For example, if you want to include a backup while maintaining the document, then surely it will start to look in the "Conservation" and you will be disappointed, and perhaps decide that such a function in the new Word does not. In fact, this box has somehow placed in the "Advanced".

Such "surprises" in the settings window a lot, it's true, there are pleasant. For example, an opportunity to remove automatic text formatting when pasting from other applications. Previously, it had to use the Paste Special, or write a macro to use smart tags, now you can forget about any inconvenience associated with pasting formatted text.Another pleasant innovation - Word can cache up to fifty last open files in the program. In previous versions, remember that number was equal to nine. List data files displayed in the same menu Office.

Finally, another setting, which is worth paying attention - preserving document format, which is used by default. In Word 2007 uses a new format. Files created in it saved with a DOCX. These files can not be read using previous versions of Word, so if you want to transmit documents partners and colleagues who have not switched to Word 2007, it is better to immediately set in the "Conservation of the" window "Options Word" another format preserve documents such as universal RTF, otherwise will always receive letters with questions: DOCX for that? I like to open it?

Lenta and quick access panel
Lenta and quick access panel - two elements of the interface, which replaced the previous versions of the Toolbar. The main feature of the tape - the availability tabs. Thanks to them, in the visual field may be present only part of the command, others on the one hand, is also on hand, and on the other - not cluttering the work area. True, the size of the tape itself much more than toolbars "Standard" and "Formatting", which by default show up in earlier versions of Word, and which, if you remember, in Word 2003 can be placed on a single line. True, you can turn the tape, which it is click on the right mouse button and select the appropriate command from the menu.

Workspace increase, but to access the commands will need to perform one extra effect - by clicking on tabs. After that tape will appear and disappear again, as soon as you move into the work area.

The video tape takes up space, not only in height, but in width. Its dimensions are to be referred to the 1280 X 1024, but nothing less. When working with a resolution of 1024 x 768, some teams are not visible, and to access them once again have to click the mouse. So some teams displayed tabs Retsenzirovanie "in solving 1024x768.

True, by the fact that the tape than the old Toolbar, it appeared some teams, which have not previously been accounted for, or who manually add. For example, there are buttons for quick removal of formatting changes to register to destroy the text. The significant lack of tape - its inability to change: remove existing teams or add new ones. According to a feature would be quite logical, therefore, there is every reason to suppose that she could appear in the next version of Word.

However, it is possible to customize the toolbar shortcuts. By default it made three commands: document retention, cancellation and refund action.
The list of other frequently used commands can be viewed and added to the panel by clicking on a button on the form sent down arrows. Add other team can be a tape (right-click and choose "Add to Quick Access"), or through the Settings window Word (under the "Settings").

This window has two main areas. In the left placed teams, which are available in Word, and on the right - the team added to Quick access. To add to the command bar, select it on the left and click the Add button. To remove the command bar with quick access by clicking on the right and click the Delete button.

For the convenience of choice in the field can be displayed on the left is not all commands, which are available in Word, but only some of them. By default, the most commonly used commands. If disclose a list of "Choose commands from the" menu commands can be displayed Office, the team stationed at each of the tabs that are available on tape, the team, not on the tape, macros. In addition, you can choose to display all the commands that are available in Word.

Customize panel can be as quick access to all documents and the current. By default, the panel is set up to all documents. To change applied only to the current document, select from the list "Settings panel shortcuts," para "For your document (it displays the file name).

For those who want to evaluate new items Word 2007, but is afraid that it does not find the necessary command on the tape, Microsoft released a special table, which lists all the toolbars and buttons on the main menu and command, specifying where they go in the new version of Word. In addition, there were interesting applications from third-party developers to display the usual elements of the interface in Word 2007. One of these programs - Classic Menu for Office 2007.

After installing the program over the tab "Home", which appears on the tape first appears Menu tab, where all elements of the main menu, familiar to users of old versions of Word. Here is the button located in the same way as a team to toolbars "Standard and Formatting."

Mini Toolbar
Mini-dashboard is very similar to a simplified version of the toolbar "Formatting" from the older versions of Word. See it can be in two places - the right-click and the allocation of the text. True, in the second case it is almost invisible. She appears on the selected text, but nearly transparent and visible, if put to it.

At this panel made the most frequently used tools character and paragraph formatting. It is convenient to use to change the color, size and typeface font, color, as well as changing faces, and to copy the model. Of course, there are the same team and on the tape, but in the process, you probably are using different tabs. To change the formatting, it is necessary to return to "Home", which is not always convenient, and the mini-bar close at hand. Its great advantage is that it disappears from the screen itself, as soon as you are done with it.

Bar
Bar - another element of the interface, which in 2007 was subjected to change Word and refinement. The line of the state - an area located at the bottom of the Word, under the area for text input and scroll strip. It displays various data about the document, such as the total number of pages in the document and the current page number. In Word 2007 on the status line, first, a slider to zoom, which can be moved, or press the button "plus" and "minus", which gives the opportunity to increase or decrease the scale of ten per cent.

Virtually all information blocks on the status line buttons are designed for quick access to commands. For example, by clicking on the button with the number of pages window opens the Find and Replace, allowing quick jump to another page of the document. Clicking on the button with the number of words opens a window of statistics document, which shows the number of lines, paragraphs, characters with spaces or without spaces. It is very handy when writing articles and abstracts. In previous versions of Word window statistics were cause for much less convenient.

Clicking on the button, which shows the language, language selection window opens in the current document, which will be checked for spelling. Finally, click on the button indicating the existence of spelling mistakes, leading to what will be allocated in the nearest word. It also opens the popup menu in which you can select the option of replacing a word or delete it from the spelling checker.

If you feel uncomfortable change of scale through a slider or you will never use the button to check spelling, you can remove these blocks with the line of the state. In Word 2007 can be configured team made it. To do this, right-click on it mice.
The menu could not only stop showing unnecessary commands, but also include those that are disabled by default, but may be useful to you. For example, you can enable the display of pressing Caps Lock, number lines, a section column, and other information.
